Coeur d'Alene, attend the Argentine Tango "Practica"

A "Practica" is an informal dance event where both teaching
and dancing take place with more experienced dancers helping
beginners. The last Tuesday of the month is a "Milonga"
- all dancing with no formal teaching. Tango is a wonderful dance
with almost infinite step variations reflecting the rhythmically rich
and passionate music. The group is friendly and loves to share
tango! |
